Nate ventured across the country in an effort to discover the technical side of music in Nashville about 9 years ago and has called it home ever since. He has been a musician from the age of 12 when his father handed down his first guitar. He loves to compose and write song lyrics and has always loved tinkering and creating innovative solutions using all kinds of wooden and metal materials, but after music, woodworking is his first love. His latest project has developed over the last 6 years in his plight to to build an affordable, great sounding guitar from scratch. Nate's attention to detail allows him to create a quality product customized for each individual customer.

Ok yuo guita and led thank yuo !!! Hapy you múic guita numbone!!!!
Looks Awesome! Can I ask what type of paint or dye you used? Also what type of finish?
The red is Pearlized airbrush paint (Createx Colors) with a Black 2.0 burst. The finish is Minwax Satin Polyurethane.
Curious if you seal the rosewood fretboard after drilling the holes with urethane or anything, just skimmed thru, at work, will watch in detail afterwards.
Thanks for taking the time to post this!! Yours is the best and most informative video on this process I've found so far, and I've been looking for a while! Can hardly wait to try this on my next project!
Looks nice. Great job!!
My seven string guitar will look legendary now
What color of dye are u using.
Spectacular video…. Where do you buy these guitars??? And, do you sell the pre-fabbed “ready to paint” blanks?
Thanks! These are special order guitars mostly. I don't have pre-fabbed stuff unfortunately. Most of my time is spent building custom orders. I typically handle quotes and orders through Facebook messenger, email or text.
@@NorthstarGuitars Gotcha....thanks for the reply. You do beautiful work.
Well done sir! I live in a place with an ocean view.... you nailed the colors of sunrise, and the whole look is smooth.
What clear coat do you prefer?
firstly❤, I don't like the body shape way too pointy, I don't like master vol, master tone layouts if there are 2 pickups there should be at least a vol for each! but most guitar makers do it?? my local tech converts any guitar I buy! right that's just my preferences out the way! 1 you didn't do it black 1st to pop the flame, it isn't always necessary, 2nd it's STUNNING! SO VIBRANT! THAT PURPLE SETS IT OFF!
How do you get it shiny
Super fuggin rad!
What du you put on the top of the leds? Fretboard side?
This guitar is amazing!
Very nice!
nice work Nate!
What did you use for dot inlay..tranparent?
CA glue over the top to make it flush.
Thank you...last question..what is the ohms value of the single resistor you use?
Why would there be interference? Firstly, it's DC current, so more or less constant and thus not inducing. Secondly, while it might itself pick up environmental noise, it is not connected to the audio circuit (might be different for active pickups) and also, there is both a plus and a minus wire, parallel to each other. Thus, noise would cancel out.
Darn. No wonder they charge 780 Euros to do this on SIMS. Hard work, but worth it.
This was awesome. And very brave 😂
I'm trying to do that thing on my guitar. Maybe with optic fiber. With leds looks better and easier to do the job but I'm scared... What happens if one led burn out? Can't decide
Unfortunately, there is always a chance that an LED can burn out. If that happens, you have to make a new neck. It's fun to do at least once, but it does involve more labor. I can't really comment on fiber optic since I've never used it.
I'm doing a lot of research about optic fiber and its light conductivity along time. It starts already weak, and if it lose intensity it will be a lost if time and money. If not, well that a lot of possibilities. I only will need 2 light sources, one for the neck dots fiber, and one for the body silhouette. Yes! Like a tuning car 😁
Very informative, thanks!
Looks fantastic.
Doesn't the binding need to be taped off? My binding is very bright white.thx
I typically just scrape the binding with a razor blade after. It's very easy to do just tedious work.
@@NorthstarGuitars ok, thx for your reply.
I would worry about the neck radius shaping and hitting the LED's but like the general idea. Maybe I'll do this on the next one.
Hi, how much does it lasts the battery in this LEDS?
Depends on how much it's used. Left on, the battery would last a couple hours. I used mine sparingly and it lasted over a year.
You should apply at PRS. Great job.
Great video except for that background noise music.
Thanks! I've never had my songs referred to as "noise music". I'll add that to the sub-genre. =)
Don't you put any transparent dots inlays on the fret boards?
Good
Why buy a strat and do this to it? Why not build your body from scratch?
This was a squire that was bought long before I started building guitars. It was already in pretty rough shape. Sometimes, things are done for fun and/or experience.
@NorthstarGuitars just curious. Thanks for responding.
How do you install these on the side of the neck where the dot markers are
I'm not sure. I've never installed led side dots. I've seen people do it with fiber optics, but that is beyond me on how it's done.
This would look amazing with black pickup covers. I am not familiar with the Mayhem pickups (I usually roll with the Custom Duncan or the JB with a neck pickup matched to the body wood) but I know the covers can be tone thiefs on high output pups. But then you might have to change the name from “Sirius” to “none more black” 😂 Great stuff! Those of us making the jump from mods/upgrades to builds would really benefit from a tips and tricks vid series.
I am not one for novelty bodies, but this is impressive. Is it just me or did you match the fretboard stain to that body? The inlay dots also have a Dino-egg type feel. The little details like that really elevate it. How does it play? Looks like it would feel similar to a Flying V body wise.
Beautiful guitar. The inlay work is a nice touch. I also like the choice to default humbucker to single coil in the neck. The best of both worlds IMO. Impressive build.
Thanks! It was great to see you and meet your family. Definitely give me a call sometime. I'd love to catch up!
Is there a difference when to use isopropyl vs denatured alcohol?
Denatured alcohol contains ethanol and several other chemicals. It does work similarly to isopropyl alcohol but I generally stay away from it. I have used it for stains before but didn't notice a difference in workability, so I just stuck with the isopropyl.
I don’t even own a guitar but I was looking around to see what crazy stain work I could do to a set of ball point hammers nd came across this work of art. Great video man
amazing job dude you have skills, those guitars are amazing 😁
Holy cow! Amazing as always!
Where are 2 positive and 2negative wires from?
Need to see pink light
Hi. Thanks for sharing This Keda powder dye completely dissolving in isopropyl alcohol ?
That is awesome! I want to build a kit and finish it in green like this. Yours is the first explanation that makes me feel like I can really do this.
what were you using for inlay filler? glitter? any epoxy? or is it slightly recessed as a scallop would be?
CA glue and then sanded flush to the fretboard.
Why doesn't this have millions of views?
Nicely done sir looks really good. Nice smooth transitions.
It's beautiful. I want that guitar.
Non-combative comment: Thanks for posting this. I want to try something like this myself, so I am grateful for your explanations.
Great job
